    Awesome experience!!! Thought I will spent an hour or so watching sumo but spent almost 5 hours! Must go place and experience. Took me two days to get there. First day came at around 9am, all the tickets for the day have been sold out. Next day came at 7, got a voucher and found out that if you plan to come with someone else you should bring that person too. They only sell tickets to the number of people in the line. You can not buy 2-3-4 tickets in one hand. Ridiculous. Finally I did some tweaks and got my two tickets. Show was awesome!!! Best matches starts at afternoon.

    If you were not able to buy your ticket online, you can buy your ticket for 2200 yen here. But the catch is, you need to be here ideally before 6am for a sure seat. They only distribute 400 tickets everyday during the tournament days. We went here before the last day of May 2018 Tournament and arrived by 6.10am but we were able to manage to get the que ticket (my ticket was 333 out of the 400). But it was fun. Good choice to witness sumo.

    After watching the last few tournaments and becoming a new sumo fan I was never going to come to Japan and not watch a day of matches. I was wondering if was going to be as good live as it is watching online and it did not disappoint, it was way better. The atmosphere was incredible, from people yelling out their favourite wrestlers name to the huge rounds of applause when the big boys of the top division make their entrance, it was an amazing experience. Even if you’re not a sumo fan it’s definitely a must do experience if there’s a tournament on while you’re visiting. Tickets can be bought on the day but you’ve gotta get in early as there’s only a limited amount (around 400) Ticket booth opens at 7:45am but I got there at 6am and was ticket number 66 and there was a line about 300 deep by 7am.

    Wonderful experience of Japanese tradition of sumo wrestling.. matches were more cultural and ceremonial.. still exciting to watch.. locals love it.. but noticed a lot of foreigners who got in on tour didn't appreciate it as much. They were more focused on beer. Glad to be able to given the chance to watch the matches like along with local colleagues to whom it was their first time as well.. recommended to visit the sumo musium next door to the areana as well.. worth the experience

    Amazing experience to see the culture and history of sumo wrestling! The atmosphere was like no other, the cheers, the entrance into the arena and into the ring, and watching it all for the first time. It is a must see when visiting Japan. By far the best experience I had and would definitely go again. We got seats in the second level which has regular arena seating. The first level is on the floor seating and I couldn't do that for the many hours we were there. Arena sells good food and beer.
